Use forward slashes, like this:

	gcc -I../h -c calls.c

or, if you must use backslashes, escape-protect a backslash with another
one: 

	gcc -I..\\h -c calls.c

A backslash is used by GNU Make as an escape character to protect special
characters, so what it passes to gcc in your case is this command line: 

	gcc -I..h -c calls.c

which is not what you want.
